because OSS and ALSA are designed for exclusive usage of your soundcard
devices (though with the latter you can set it up in a way that allows
you more complicated stuff).
other apps appearantly use consumer grade frameworks like pulseaudio and
the like to allow multiple apps play to a single device.
however, it's most likely neither OSS nor ALSA they are using.
